Ok chaps it's 2030 and,assuming the UK still exists  the British Sec of State holds a Referendum or plebiscite
Question
Do you wish Northern Ireland to
Remain in the UK
Unite with the RoI.

The latter gets 52%........
What happens next?
I would say the unionists would look for a lot of money and loads of autonomy.

Have a border poll in Britain, and problem solved.

I mean, what would be the aim of a loyalist terror campaign if Britain doesn't want them?
No precedent for this.  No vote for rest of UK re Scottish independence.

But wasn't there an all-island vote on Home Rule, pre-partition?

Letting the McGuiness, Adams and Paisley types just die off is a pretty good approach to avoiding violence, Lar.
I wish it was that simple Syf.
There's been McGuiness, Adams and Paisley types knocking lumps out of each other since 1603 or thereabouts and I'm afraid there are generations of them still to come.
I'd love to think otherwise as all the people on the island have enough on their plates without rehashing the Battle of the Boyne all over again but I'm certain that I will be long gone before the Northern Question is finally answered.
